Eating right I have battled a weight problem my entire life—the ultimate yo-yo. After the birth of my son, I was heavy and unmotivated to attempt another diet. I stayed heavy for about three years. At that point my mother found out she had diabetes. However, she continued to eat whatever she wanted. Basically, I became angry because I saw that food was so important to her that she put food before my father, her children and her grandchildren—before basically everything. Uncontrolled eating of processed, unhealthy, sugar-laden food was ruining her health. I decided right then that I was going to start eating the right foods—healthy foods and responsible foods so that I did not continue to make food my idol as well. I’ve lost 50 pounds and kept it off for several years. My mother is starting to eat right also! Rebecca Rabon | Locust | Union Power Cooperative |
